A not-for CLAIMING DIGNITY profit, non-governmental, human rights organisation, HRLN recognizes rights broadly to include civil and political as well as economic, social, and cultural DIGNITY CLAIMING USING LAW TO ADVANCE REPRODUCTIVE AND SEXUAL rights. Recognising law as an area of struggle, HRLN views the legal system as HEALTH RIGHTS a limited but crucial weapon for realising human rights. We believe that large scale struggles against human rights violations have to be waged by social and political movements and that the legal system can play a significant supportive role in these. Starting in 1989 as an ad hoc group of lawyers and social activists, HRLN has since evolved into a human rights organisation with dedicated activists, lawyers, and social workers in all Indian states. In addition to pro-bono legal services and public interest litigation, HRLN engages in legal advocacy both inside and outside of the courts including conducting legal workshops and investigations, publishing “Know Your Rights” material, and participating in campaigns. In collaboration with social movements and human rights and development organisations, HRLN works on behalf of the rights of women, prisoners, Dalits, workers, children, farmers, indigenous people, refugees, HIV positive people, people with disabilities, religious minorities, sexual minorities, and the homeless among others. 2019 3rd EDITION 2019 European Union CLAIMING DIGNITY USING LAW TO ADVANCE REPRODUCTIVE AND SEXUAL HEALTH RIGHTS 3RD EDITION 2019 HUMAN RIGHTS LAW NETWORK: OUR VISION • To protect fundamental human rights, increase access to basic resources for marginalised communities, and eliminate discrimination.

  • Defending Human Rights in India
    Amnesty International On-line. http://www.amnesty.org ai-index ASA 20/008/2000 26/04/2000 PART I: Defending human rights in India 1. The human rights movement in India "No one is going to give them their rights to live with dignity on a silver platter. They have to be extracted with force... We will have to strengthen ourselves to stop those who find it profitable to misuse authority and public funds. Perhaps the courts and the NGOs are the only solution." Chair of the National Human Rights Commission at a workshop on "Human Rights of Marginalised and Tribal Communities -- the role of non-governmental organizations and the NHRC in promoting a human rights culture for a just and equitable society", Dehra Dun, 1 October 1999. As reported in The Times of India, 2 October 1999, "People should fight for their rights: NHRC chief", by Man Mohan, Justice Venkatachaliah, former Chair, National Human Rights Commission The global trend towards rights awareness has led to a proliferation of NGOs and movements for human rights worldwide. In independent India post-1949, a civil liberties movement which had been active in opposing human rights abuses under the colonial rule of the British including the preventive detention of political prisoners, re-emerged to raise concerns about state atrocities against left-wing political activists particularly in West Bengal and Andhra Pradesh. The 1975 Emergency again galvanised the human rights movement to oppose the oppressive actions of the state. Many politicians who are active today were imprisoned by the state and were the subject of campaigns by the human rights movement in India and abroad.
